A Glimpse of Me

We met a friend in Phuket. He is now into selling vases which was hand made by his friend in his wife’s hometown. They were actually beautiful vases. If we lived nearby and don’t need to travel, I would have bought one from them. They’re really beautiful. They actually ship worldwide as well… but not sure whether I could afford to have it shipped to Malaysia from Phuket. But I guess there’s always available service that can ship vases without them getting broken or something.

I found a shipping company that does shipping and it’s quite cheap. They can ship any thing… so probably they can ship vases too. I found they can ship  safety equipment as well.Hmmm… will think more about buying vases overseas. I think there are a lot of vases (beautiful vases) available in Malaysia.

Hubby and I were just talking about relationship… our frustrations and appreciations for the last year 2008. One of the things he was frustrated was when he came home and the house was a bit messy. So I told him it’s impossible because the children would be playing around and I didn’t wanna control them from playing inside the house. So we made a possible solution for that and we want to implement it when we go back next year… errr… in 3 days time, actually. Hubby just loves a cozy home… and you know what… my boy does too. So sometimes, he would tell me he wanted a nice home. So he would turn off the white lights and turn on the yellow lights… and the aircon! Sigh. I only turn on the air con when his daddy comes home (to save the electricity bill) and here’s our boy, following after his daddy. He, too, wants a cozy home. I think the next thing I know, he’d be choosing which lighting fixtures is the better one to use. My boy is indeed growing up into a fine boy.. with a good taste. And I am going to face a huge challenge next year… to keep our house cozy!

Husband and I were driving past Tesco Lotus, Phuket last night. It brought back good memories for us as it was where we bought our groceries (for hi to cook dinner for me) and the American Choc Cake. American choc cake was one of those that played significan role to make our days in Phuket memorable. It was where he hid the engagement ring before he proposed. The engagement ring he gave me was a bit different than the normal diamond studded engagement rings that is normally used for marriage proposals. Our friends and family know that Peter and I have the same birthday, on January 5th. He’s just one year older than I am. The birthstone for January is garnet and my favorite color is red. So he purposely bought a ring with a big garnet heart-shaped stone on it, in between the two small diamonds. He wanted it to be more significant. And it truly is significant as people would normally ask us why garnet for my engagement ring.

Merry Christmas everyone… from my home to your home. I hope everybody remembers the reason for this season is the birth of our Lord Jesus, our Savior…
